First attempt

These are a few images of getting the protagonist ready for filming:

The main idea was to get her to look bruised and hurt as she is trying to escape from the unknown threat.

Once everything was done that's our character's final look:

Lara was the one filming ,Ellie took care of the makeup and also helped with filming and I was acting.

However we ended up not filming because we were missing the memory card of the camera. We managed to find another memory card but it did not work. We left and went back another day and managed to finish with the filming.

Group decisions

Actions to be agreed on:
- We think that it s neccesary to have more meetings based around shooting in order to give all group members a clearer understanding of what we are doing. On Friday the 4th filming shoot take place at kent house station. Meeting at about 4:00 so that its slightly dark.

- We also need to decide on the music used within the short clip, as well as any added sound affects, all group members should begin to research pieces of music and affects that could be used in order to have a clearer understanding of what is already avaliable.

Motions taken or rejected:
- As a group we have decided that each of the shots should be very slightly longer, to both create tension as well as enable our short clip to meet the required length of two minuites. We have agreed to film the opening scene on Friday the 6th of January at Kent house station at 4:00.

Next steps:
- Steps should be followed as shown on the shoting schedule, all filming should be complete by Friday the 6th in order to enable us to be ready to edit the folloing week. Camera person will be Lara and Ellie. The director to the short clip will be Lara, Ellie will be doing makeup and special affects on Rediola, who is acting within the short clip. 

Group timetable

Thriller opening location

After looking at a few options, we picked this one as the most suitable location for our thriller opening. The whole setting looks a bit scary , from the mud puddles on the ground ,the way the houses are almost hidden behind huge trees and also the shadows the trees create giving the effect of that scary uncomfortable environment. The lamps are a positive as apart from being an important part of the shoot they enable us good lighting.

Treatment

A first person view of a girl struggling to peal herself up of the damp cold floor. The only thing heard is her heavy breathing to break the eerie silence that surrounds her. She begins to move slowly towards her goal. A close up of her hand clenching a bloody pair of scissors. Ominous mysterious music begins to build as she runs faster. The shot jumps to a moving close up that goes from her feet to her neck. She is wearing ripped dirty pyjamas. A high angle shot of the quiet dark street, you see the girl sprinting with determination down the road. She stops to catch her breath while the music goes back to a unnerving silence. A first person view is once again used, when she looks behind her terrified if the threat is still there and then turns back around. The shot now moves to a long shot and the camera starts slowly approaching her bruised face ,while she makes no eye-contact with it. When the building music hits its peak she looks at the camera with determination. She then begins running again with the camera following her with a shot from behind the girl. She runs out onto an empty dark road and something makes her freeze, it's the sound of a car horn. The camera immediately goes to a medium shot of her turning to face the approaching car. A close up of the scissors being dropped in slow motion while a fuzzy sound is heard. The screen goes black and all that's heard is a car skidding. Words fade in reading "7 days ago"...
